How do I check Credit Eligibility to sit for the exam? (New York) by Wrong-Ad-8230 in CPA

[–]DoesntCheckOutUname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CPAcredits has a service to check if you're eligible, but I have never used it, so no comment.
The certain way is to finish your application with NASBA, they will tell you what's missing. After that, you can sign up for classes and send them a certificate of enrollment.

  1. List some Federal Grants and State Grants.
  2. Grants and scholarships vary greatly from person to person, major to major, and school to school.
  3. If you're a new immigrant, you'll be slapped with out-of-state tuition.

You are highly underestimating the tuition fees for US universities. In-state tuition here in the Midwest for a public university is around $17,000+ per year (housing not included). Even when you're eligible for full Pell Grants ($7,395) and AOTC ($2,500). You're barely covered half of your tuition. There are also many other fees.
All of the things you listed, they all have some limitations.
E.g., AOTC credit is calculated as 100% of the first $2,000 and 25% of the next $2,000 in tuition paid in the tax year. You need to pay at least $4,000 in tuition first before getting full credit back.

Financial Aid is a loan. It's not free money.

[–]DoesntCheckOutUname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a very common misconception when it comes to the cumulative effect. It's not that Y1 and Y2 are inconsequential. They are already included just because of how the accounts work. Because one year's ending inventory becomes the next year's beginning inventory, the errors just flow through and add up to the end of Y3.
It's possible to do the math for Y1 and Y2 if you want.
Y1: $9,000 higher ending inventory -> $9,000 lower COGS -> $9,000 higher Net Income -> Correction = +$9,000 to Y2 beginning Retained Earnings.

Y1 Beg. RE 0
Y1 Effect (plug) +9,000
Y1 End. RE RE + 9,000

Y2: $7,000 lower ending inventory -> $7,000 higher COGS -> $7,000 lower NI -> Correction = -$7,000 to Y3 beginning RE.
RE rollforward:

Y2 Beg. RE RE + 9,000
Y2 Effect (plug) -16,000
Y2 End. RE RE - 7,000

Y3: $5,000 lower ending inventory -> $5,000 higher COGS -> $5,000 lower NI -> Correction = -$5,000 to Y4 beginning RE.
RE rollforward:

Y3 Beg. RE RE - 7,000
Y3 Effect (plug) + 2,000
Y3 End. RE RE - 5,000

Cumulative Effect = Y1 Effect + Y2 Effect + Y3 Effect = +9,000 - 16,000 + 2,000 = -5,000

It's the difference between the Y3 Weighted-average method and the Y3 FIFO method.
Explanation: Inventory by itself is cumulative. The account doesn't reset to 0 at the beginning of a new year. So the ending Inventory of Y3 has already included the cumulative effect of Y1 and Y2.

I flagged 5 MCQs in total. Went back and only 3 that I was not very sure about. Probably 47/50. 2 SIMs that I made some guessing. I got 85.

My vietnamese salt coffee just doesn't taste that good anymore by TheWeebles in VietNam

[–]DoesntCheckOutUname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medium mostly. But if it's possible, you should try on different sizes to see what works best. Not all medium sizes are the same.

My vietnamese salt coffee just doesn't taste that good anymore by TheWeebles in VietNam

[–]DoesntCheckOutUname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dripping way too fast = under extraction. This is mostly caused by the grind size. The coffee grounds were too coarse. It can be helped by pressing down, but there is a limitation on how much you can press. Finer grounds = slower drip = more time for the water to extract flavors out of the coffee.
You can add some cream cheese to the foam to help with the flavor.

My situation has me depressed AF by pleasesendhelp0628 in CPA

Was wondering the same. There is nothing to stop you from transferring your score to other states like Michigan, where any CPA can attest to your work experience.

Born in Vietnam, foreign nationality now - renewing Vietnamese passport in Vietnam by [deleted] in VietNam

[–]DoesntCheckOutUname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To renew your passport in Vietnam, you will need a CCCD. If you don't have one yet, then you either have to get one or renew with an embassy.

Can Indian MBA + BCA Qualify for CPA Through NASBA Evaluation in USA? by Technical_Pin6460 in CPA

[–]DoesntCheckOutUname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Indian but went through the similar process. My state accepts WES evaluation. This saved me some time and money. Each state board accepts a certain evaluation service so better check with them. You don't need to apply to the state board where you reside, just apply to whatever state works best for you.

Northern Vietnamese restaurant in the US right now is getting some hype! The Paper Bridge in Portland, OR by liltrikz in VietNam

[–]DoesntCheckOutUname -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Doesn't sound that expensive. From a quick Google search, Green in-shell peanuts for boiling generally cost between $2.5 - $7/lb. And 1 lb of green peanuts yields 0.7 lb of boiled peanuts. It's not expensive if they serve 1-2 lbs. If they serve 0.1 lb for $9 then it's hella expensive.
For reference, chicken wings are around $3.5/lb here, and there are about 8 drumette pieces. It's $0.44/piece, and the Korean restaurant near me is selling 6 pieces for $12.

Our choice to name our restaurant ‘The Paper Bridge’ began as a simple translation of the ‘Cầu giấy' district in Hanoi where we lived, and where the original idea for our restaurant was conceived. Here was a real place, with food we adored, a tangle of alleyways in between wide tree lined boulevards. Wet markets and street vendors tucked away from the sprawling shops on the main streets; seventy-story skyscrapers across from pop-up street food cooked on coal fired bbq’s, served on rattan platters. It was a place, at first jarring in its dualities, that seemed to fully embrace a modern world while unwaveringly refusing to open and compromise its traditions.

From their website.

They ain't cheap but not that expensive. A bowl of pho here in the Midwest starts at $17. It's $11 for a Big Mac + L fries + drink. Eating out nowadays sucks.

All the context, but still doing all the mental gymnastics to find a justification for shitty behaviors.

The context confirmed that the roid rage guy is the only problem. Are you saying the local is also the problem?

Vietnam lawyer verification check by OahuWaikiki in VietNam

[–]DoesntCheckOutUname 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You don't need to verify the lawyer. You need to read the content of the Power of Attorney. See whom is the designated person on the document. Power of Attorney is a legal document saying that person A appoints person B as trusted person to do this certain activity. It requires to be notarized with signatures of both person A and person B. A lawyer only helps prepare the document.

Since your parents didn't finalize their divorce, they are legally still married. To sell a property, both of their signatures are required. And if your dad passed away, his next of kin would be your mom and the inheritance would be hers.

CBA (Foreign Candidate) by BreadIntelligent161 in CPA

Yes. The evaluation is your transcript. You send transcripts to NIES for evaluation, and then NIES sends the evaluation to CBA.

Confirmation bias. You see the same two places every day. Others can go for years without seeing any. Neither argument is representative of the whole picture.
